Conjoined at the southern end of the Exumas by a narrow bridge, GREAT EXUMA and LITTLE EXUMA are home to all but a few hundred of the island chain's three thousand residents, most of whom lie in the capital George Town, a bustling little hub offering plenty of hotels, restaurants and nightly entertainment, and popular with yacht sailors and enturesome tourists.

Nonetheless, the town's most appealing sights lie offshore, including the azure and emerald depths of Elizabeth Harbour and its offshore cays such as Stocking Island , with its long windswept beach, and Crab Cay , site of the ruins of a Loyalist plantation. In late April, George Town's biggest social event of the year occurs, the Out Island Regatta , drawing crews from across the Bahamas to race their sloops.

North and south of town are several modest settlements like Rolle Town and Williams Town , which make a pleasant day trip by car or bicycle, and proide access to prime bonefishing and deep-sea fishing grounds.
